New York ? Lauren Graham, who plays an independent mom in the drama-comedy “Gilmore Girls,” says she’s not upset the show is ending.

“I think it’s the best decision for the show,” Graham told Newsweek for editions that will hit newsstands today. “One of the things Alexis (Bledel, her co-star) and I wished could be different was the schedule, and it really can’t be.”

The CW network announced last week the show will end May 15 after seven seasons on the air.

Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the show became popular in large part because of its witty, comedy-infused banter. Set in fictional Stars Hollow, Conn., the series chronicles the saga of a single mother, Lorelai, and her daughter, Rory, who are more like best friends than parent and child.

Graham has previously said getting the rapid dialogue right takes a lot of time, and it has taken its toll over the years.
